Nice climb without extremes and with, once in the Venter valley, hardly any traffic. At the end point your body can get used to the 2000 meter limit. Was my "in cycling" and warming up climb when I stayed for a cycling & walking holiday in the well known Austrian ski resort Sölden, which also has some challenging cycling possibilities in summer.... read more

After climbing the Timmelsjoch, there was still some energy in the legs. This made the decision to turn left at Zwieselstein to contemplate the Ventertal. The valley is beautiful, the road is okay and traffic is virtually non-existent (unlike the Timmelsjoch). At times you imagine yourself all alone (climbed in late June). The ascent can be a bit erratic, but is doable. Vent is also a great village for a lunch break.

Driving to Austria especially for this seems a bit too much, but in combination with the Timmelsjoch it is definitely recommended!

Na het beklimmen van de Timmelsjoch zat er nog wat energie in de benen. Hierdoor het besluit genomen om bij Zwieselstein linksaf te slaan om het Ventertal te aanschouwen. Het dal is prachtig, de weg is oké en het verkeer is er vrijwel niet (in tegenstelling tot de Timmelsjoch). Op momenten waan je je helemaal alleen (beklommen eind juni). De beklimming kan wat grillig zijn, maar is goed te doen. Vent is bovendien een prima dorpje voor een lunchpauze.

Speciaal ervoor naar Oostenrijk rijden lijkt me wat teveel van het goede, maar in combinatie met de Timmelsjoch is het zeker een aanrader!

Lovely and quiet climb in a secluded valley above Solden. Ideal as a warm-up for the annual ORM.

Heerlijk mooie en rustig klim in een afgelegen dal boven Solden. Ideaal als opwarmer voor de jaarlijkse ORM.

Nice climb. Straight ahead. Random course. Sometimes false flat to easy going. Now and then a piece in the direction of 10 - 11.
Many waterfalls on the route.
If you ride to the end of the climbfinder segment, a few kilometers past Vent on a path towards a pension.
Everything is nicely paved, except on the day I rode it, they were renewing a piece of road.
There are some smaller tunnels on the route, and one very long one that alternates between everything gallery and fully closed tunnel. Everything is well lit, but I would still recommend a flashing tail light.

Leuke klim. rechtoe rechtaan. Grillig verloop. Soms vals plat tot vlot lopend. Af en toe een stuk richting 10％ - 11％.
Veel watervalletjes op de route.
Als je tot het einde van het climbfinder-segment rijdt, rij je een paar kilometer voorbij Vent op een pad richting een pensioen.
Alles is mooi verhard, tenzij op de dag dat ik er reed, dan waren ze een stukje weg aan het vernieuwen.
Er zitten enkele kleinere tunneltjes op de route en één heel lange tunnel die wisselt tussen alles galerijtje en volledige gesloten tunnel. Alles is goed verlicht, maar ik zou toch een knipperend achterlichtje aanraden.

Mooie klim zonder extremen en met, eens afgedraaid in het Venterdal, amper verkeer. Op het eindpunt kan je lichaam al eens wennen aan de 2000 meter grens.
Was mijn "in fiets" en opwarmingsklim toen ik voor een fiets & wandelvakantie verbleef in het gekende Oostenrijkse skioord Sölden, dat ook in de zomer wel wat uitdagende fietsmogelijkheden heeft.
